Utility leaders manage systems that never sleep, infrastructure the public rarely sees, and risks that often go unnoticed, until something happens. In a single moment, one decision can change lives, teams, and organizations forever. In this session, Lisa Evatt shares how workplace and personal loss reshaped her perspective on safety, accountability, and leadership. She explores how grief impacts employees and how they interpret leadership during crises, and how culture is permanently influenced by what leaders do and fail to do in critical moments. On a mission to understand how a critical step was missed, Lisa learned that we are often not as in control of our daily actions as we believe.
